The first answer is interesting. Your rose sounds like it is getting environmental damage or a fungal disease. Sometimes if you water the rose in the heat of the day (or put any chemical or fertilizer [or dishwater]) it can cause the leaf to burn. Scorch turns the leaves brown as does chemical or fertilizer burns. If this has been your practice water (fertilize or spray) in the morning. If you are not doing any of these things you are probably getting a fungal disease.

Peace is a very old cultivar and is not very disease-resistant. The most common disease is "black spot" and there are others that can cause leaves to turn brown or black. Ortho has Funginex which has been around since about the time of the Pilgrims. Mix some up and spray the roses according to the directions. Reapply every 7-10 days and that will stop the diseases. The affected leaves will not come back but it will not effect the new leaves.

There's one other remote possibility: If you soak the living daylights out of it when you water you could be causing the "root hairs" to rot off making the plant have a harder time to take up water an thereby causing the leaves to dehydrate and turn brown. If you have heavy soil that hold water, don't water too heavily. I know it doesn't make sense that too much water can cause the rose to dehydrate but it does.

What sunlight is best for a 1 gallon Peace Rose to be planted in?

Most roses prefer full sun. Full sun in rose language means no less that 6 hours of sun per day. Just tell her to pick a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun.

What did Jesus mean about the sabbath day?

Peace be with you,

The Sabbath day is and always has been Saturday, the seventh day of the week.

Christians observe Sunday, the first day of the week as the primary day of rest and worship because Christ rose from the dead at the beginning of that day.

Orthodox Christians have always honoured the Sabbath (Saturday) by forbidding fasting and certain other practices on it. (The only exception is Bright Saturday, the day before Resurrection Sunday when fasting is permitted to remember the time Christ spent in the tomb.)

The Holy Bible says nothing about the Sabbath day changing and Sabbatarian groups can provide you with a great deal of information in this regard. There are also numerous quotes from Roman Catholics and Protestants about how the Sabbath has not changed (for some examples please see: ).

One which I love to quote is "I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone...." (T. Enright, C.S.S.R., in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18,1884.). {Being Orthodox I of course interpret the word "Catholic" slightly differently to how Enright may have intended it.}

If you would like more information, please contact the Church.

Pray for me please.
